Couldn't see a thread about the F3's so thought i would start one.
Who is planning to go? Is there going to be a trackside shop like last year (DC Racing)?
Also, anyone have a decent B4 set up for the outdoor track?!

Yeah I will be going and vicky too, both doing 2 and 4wd. Vicky will be using the new Atech BX-1 in 4wd.
Ive walked around the track but never driven it, I guess only locals might run on that track usually ?!?
Maybe a bury metro setup might be a good start point ?
I think Modelimages will be there as well as WnW, not sure about DC but you never know

cheers Jimmy, least i can get tyres trackside.
what did the track look like as there are no pictures on the website? i know it's grass/astro mix with a concrete section i think. Obviously the layout will probably vary, just wondered what ratio of grass to astro and how bumpy etc?

I will be going B4 in 2wd a borrowed BJ4 in 4wd as Jimmy said a bury setup would be a good starting point, and not to hot a motor as I think it is quite small going to bury on sunday to fine tune the B4 this sunday see you all there.:D :D

I will be there both days with B4 and MR4-BX,
most normal Grass setups should work on there track, or Bury Metro/Batley setups.

Blimey Jimmy, hope you have a 'pit-man', you'll have a busy weekend doing 2 cars a day & taking pictures - good luck of you haven't!:eek:

i thought it was a max of 5 per license grade per region to start with and then more only if space's allow!!

Believe me, there'll plenty of space.

Don't know the in's and out's but north west didn't run a 4wd series this year, so the spaces from there were offered to north east. With the rest, I can only assume that alot of people didn't want to travel all that way (personally, I'm looking forward to a huge convoy clogging up the M5...)
i race at tiverton quite a lot and a normal grass setup works fine, its quite a nice track as the straight it newish astroturf and some cornering sections to.

Just wanted to say a big thanks to all the stewards and Tiverton members for staging a great event. Fun, friendly and efficient with an ace track.
Congrats to Niggs on the double and the 7 wins in 4wd.
Also thanks for helping me set up my lazer. i wouldn't have made A4 without you!
Oh and big congrats to my fellow mid-southers for overturning a big deficit from 2wd to take the overall best region!!

25-09-2006, 10:40 AM
Yeah great event, great track, and well done to Nathan for dominating! John Spencer was really fast too but Nath is da man.
jim76
25-09-2006, 11:07 AM
Yeah, John was really quick all weekend, quicker than Nath a lot of the time but he just didn't get the breaks.
2nd in 4wd and he drove each leg with a different car. can't really argue with that!
when are the pics coming Jimmy?!! :D
jimmy
25-09-2006, 11:11 AM
I'll try get mine up tonight if I can. Stu Evans got a LOAD of photos though so he will be THE MAN ! :p I was trying to do well at racing so didn't get as many photos as i'd of liked - plus no photos of the A finals in 4wd of course.:D

25-09-2006, 01:11 PM
cant wait to see the pics as usual, good job all round and to all at tiverton track was a real credit to you all,well done.
shame Matty rolled it on the last lap in round 3. He would have been 2nd overall if he hadn't, 3rd overall is good though
Look, I've shit out big time, I've gone mad and have got 97 million good images, it's gonna take me till the indoor finals to go thru them all and pick the best for a gallery - crazy. Later tonight, and that's if the mussus leaves me alone for a bit.
Where's my tea, I want steak & vedge:jimmeh

And Stu's skill of taking HORRIBLE photos of me continues...
Is that my punishment for talking rubbish in the car on the way home?

'No no, I'll stay awake, I'd feel bad going to sleep'... oops. :oops:

Where is Droopy the little knome!!!!
Have a look at this pic for me please, if i am in front surely i cant be at fault for Mr Ralls rolling over!!!
As you have hung up the whistle and cards now i thought i would get your last opinion (must have been that drink you had with you, blurred your vision)
Great pic from Jimmy!!!
Perhaps we should have a video panel for incidents, im getting carried away thought this was football.
Still wish you wasn't retiring, hope to see you next year droops.

jim76
26-09-2006, 09:51 AM
it's an orange and purpley ZX5 with Warrior on the wing (don't ask, it was second hand!)
Unfortunately (from a photos point of view!) i was in the A with you, so it'll only be the heats.
ta for having a look
jimmy
26-09-2006, 10:02 AM
Yeah, I didnt take many photos because I was trying to get in the A... I did sneak off the rostrum afte it dumped in leg3 though, so might have got a shot - not sure.

Last two legs were like that carl, I just picked my line carefully and didnt touch anyone, managed to avoid the chaos. Still, doesnt really matter when you put the wrong cells in and only do 3 laps.
I could feel my car slowing and i started BLOCKING passing moves- not realising it was dumping, just thinking it had gone off a bit. there was utter chaos behind me, people trying to get past but I took the inside line every time and they couldnt make a move and there were multiple pileups as people tried to get past.. I felt a bit bad sorta, but Im allowed to keep defend my position.
I chucked the towel in though when I realised it was getting slower and slower.
